The attendance of pupils upon the
city schools next week will probably BIZ
very light, as parents are somewhat
dubious about allowing so many child
rem to congregate SO soon after an in
fictitious disease has been extlpguished
; The action of the board of education IL
opening the schools is receiving mucl
comment. The school rooms of the cit,
have been thoroughly dislnfected to-day
and every %preeaution will be taken b.
the board of:education to guard agalns
further spread of scarlet fever.
At a meeting Of the board of education
held last evening, Prof. A F. Bartlett
principal of the schools, rendered hi
Resignation, to take effect st the end o
the school year, which the boardof edu-
cation reluctantly accepted. Prof. Bar
! lett, next year, will become n of til
faculty of Yankton college and the cit
schools will be given over into the charg
of one who may be as efficient but VIII
cannot give better satisfaction than he
Prof. Bartlett. The board has not ye
r made arrangements for another prlncipa
;. Prof. Bartlett is not only q model educi
tor, but is also a progressive citizen an
the city may feel reioiced over the fa'
that he will remain in Yankton.
A circular was prepared this afternoc
IN the office of General Dewey, heat
: quarters for campaign literature, whic
falsely charges that j. Il. Teller pre-
cured the Yankton bridge charter /,
:, private speculative purposes. Mr.. Tell
was seen in regard to this matter. I
stated that the charter was procured
the use of the first railroad compai
. which would cross the river at Yankt'
and that it was a free gift to any su
railroad company. 1t has already be-
offered to Il company and goes to t
company which will guarantee t
- bridge. MIR. Teller procured the char
in the name CT hiiaself and |
friends SO that he could control it for t
good of Yankton. The president of
board OF trade says the charter has be
placed at the disposal of the board
trade to be given by that organizatit
at Mr.. Ieller's instance, to any railro
company that will build the bridge.
